About
French for bell, the “Cloche” is a clear inspiration in the case shape of the Cloche De Cartier. The fascinating design of the dial, rotated ninety degrees from a typical dial layout, coupled with the asymmetrical 18k gold case, allowed the wristwatch to be placed on its side to function as a miniature desk clock. Originally introduced in 1922, Cartier had a limited run of 200 pieces of the Cloche De Cartier in the 1990s.
